SAUTEED BABY SPINACH WITH GARLIC, MUSHROOMS AND BEANS



Sauteed Baby Spinach With Garlic, Mushrooms and Beans image

This is one of my favorite, feel good meals. It's quick, healthy and delicious. I usually use cannellini beans, but any beans are good - garbanzos, navy beans, black beans. I just think the white beans look nice. All amounts are approximate. This is a very flexible recipe. Add more garlic, less garlic, Just remember that the spinach will shrink down even more than you might expect it too - so I use plenty of spinach. I like this as a vegetarian lunch, but it would be good as a side dish as well.

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound baby spinach leaves, well washed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat; add spinach. Toss until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Spinach: Select young, tender baby spinach with vibrant green leaves. Avoid wilted or yellowed spinach.
  • Quick Prepping: Thoroughly wash the spinach, removing any dirt or grit. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner to remove excess moisture.

  • Heat Control: Maintain medium-high heat throughout the cooking process. This helps to quickly wilt the spinach and prevents overcooking.
  • Stir and Toss: Use tongs or a large spoon to gently stir and toss the spinach in the hot oil. This ensures even cooking and prevents clumping.
  • Seasoning Symphony: Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. You can also incorporate other seasonings like red pepper flakes, chili powder, or dried herbs for extra flavor.
